> The Fedora development team announced the beta for version 37 of the open-source operating system would be released on time on September 13, 2022.
> The next iteration of the Fedora 37 operating system has finally reached beta and is now available to download and install. This was announced on Fedora Hyperkitty along with the announcement that the final freeze for Fedora 37 would hit Tuesday, October 4.
> As far as features in Fedora 37, you can look for plenty of changes, such as updates to the LLVM 15 compiler, LXQt 1.1, a preview of the new Anaconda Web-based installer, support for Raspberry Pi 4, Linux kernel 5.19 (the latest mainline kernel), GNOME 43 (which includes a revamped Quick Settings), a new GTK4/libadwaita port of Files (which also includes the new adaptive sidebar, icon emblems, and rubberband selection), WebExtension API support in GNOME Web, high-resolution scroll wheel support, direct scanout support (to aid multi-monitor setups), server-side decorations now include essential color support, as well as a reference KVM VM disk image.
> Using pipelines to achieve greater automation, improved consistency and enhanced reliability of a process is a well established practice. We can find pipelines within telecommunication and IT processes including Infrastructure as Code (IaC), development and operations (DevOps), development, security and operations (DevSecOps), network operations (NetOps) and GitOps. Some common characteristics among these processes is expressing the intent, or desired state, in a declarative, versioned and immutable manner.
> It is well known that SAP landscapes, apart from being critical to how global companies function, tend towards high levels of complexity. This is not only because of the vast array of different applications that constitute the average SAP installation base (like ERP, BW, GRC, SCM, CRM), but also because these products typically interact with many other third-party applications, forming altogether a large ecosystem.

> Fedora Linux 37 is probably the most anticipated GNU/Linux distro release of the year, promising official support for the Raspberry Pi 4 single-board computer with accelerated graphics and other enhancements, the upcoming GNOME 43 desktop environment for the Workstation edition, as well as the upcoming Linux 6.0 kernel.
> Apart from some of the latest and greatest GNU/Linux technologies and Open Source apps, the Fedora Linux 37 release also promises Fedora CoreOS and Fedora Cloud Base as official Fedora Linux editions, the public release of the Anaconda Web UI preview image, and SELinux autorelabel parallel running by default.
Four more articles about Fedora beta this evening.
> Fedora team announced today that the Fedora 37 BETA is now available for direct download and upgrade from the current version. For a change, a Fedora release which is on time, without any delay! That itself makes it more of a piece of important news.
> A month of BETA testing is planned from today until the final release on October 18, 2022 (with the fallback date of Oct 25, 2022). In this one month, many bugs will be squashed and fixed to make it a more solid distro for you.
> Although I covered the new features in my traditional feature highlights of Fedora 37 page, let’s have a quick recap of the new features of this release.
> The Fedora project has announced the availability of the Fedora Linux Workstation beta version 37. The beta version sports an updated version of the forthcoming GNOME 43 desktop, and support for Raspberry Pi.
> Fedora and GNOME go together like peanut butter and jelly. It is the best Linux distribution combined with the greatest desktop environment. Not to mention, Fedora focuses on truly free and open source software. Sure, that may make the operating system a bit less inviting to Linux beginners, but many seasoned Linux experts know Fedora is the cream of the crop.
> Today, Fedora 37 finally becomes available in Beta form, and the developers are hoping you will test it and provide some useful feedback. The most exciting aspect of Fedora 37 Beta is its use of GNOME 43, which is also in Beta. Also titillating is official Raspberry Pi 4 support, and yes, accelerated graphics are working. ARM fans will surely be happy about that, but sad to know the ARMv7 architecture will no longer be supported.
> The Fedora Project has announced the Fedora 37 beta for Fedora Workstation, Server, IoT, Spins, and Labs. Interestingly, the Workstation edition ships with a beta version of GNOME 43, this is expected to see a final release in a couple of weeks.
> With GNOME 43, users will get a device security panel in Settings, which will let you see security information about hardware and firmware on their system. In addition, more of the core GNOME apps have been updated to use the latest GTK toolkit for better performance and improved appearance.
> Another notable aspect of Fedora 37 is that the Raspberry Pi 4 is now supported officially with accelerated graphics. Unfortunately, ARMv7 hardware loses support in this release. The team said that the Fedora CoreOS and Fedora Cloud Base releases are being upgraded in status to Editions. This means they are flagship products designed for specific use cases.
A couple more about it today.
> As usual, there will be multiple versions of the distro: there are already betas of all the respins too. As ever, the primary edition remains the GNOME one. This will feature the 25th anniversary version, GNOME 43. However, at this point, the final release version of GNOME 43 isn't expected for another week or so, so the Fedora beta uses a release candidate version.
> Notably, Fedora 37 GNOME has a new replacement for a major GNOME app: the new Text Editor in place of the trusty GEdit. However, GNOME Terminal is still here, waiting its turn to be usurped by GNOME Console.
> GNOME Settings has a new device security panel, which will include information about firmware updates for supported hardware. For now, the beta uses kernel 5.19, but by the time the final version ships, it will probably use the new kernel 6.0.
> If you're not a GNOME fan, then there are plenty of alternatives. Also available are respins featuring KDE Plasma 5.26, MATE 1.26, Xfce 4.16, LXQt 1.10, and Cinnamon 5.4, as well as LXDE, the i3 tiling window manager, and the Sugar educational environment from the OLPC project. As before, there are also Server and Internet-of-Things editions; new to version 37 are CoreOS and Cloud Base editions as well.
> Fedora 37 is due for release next month (October 18, 2022)
> The beta version for Fedora 37 has been released for public testing.
> Here, let me mention the key highlights of this release.

> GNOME 43 being the obvious upgrade for Fedora's flagship edition brings in performance and usability improvements.
> You can get hands-on with the best GNOME 43 features with Fedora 37.
